I have obtained, at great expense (both monetarily and psychologically) a near pristine copy of Eerie #7 (the Sea Witch). For jaded and/or "experienced" Fritz fans, this is no big deal. I am both and neither. Please, please, please embiggen the first two images. Our union is greater than the parts

Busted...I have no idea who is this is, but it is great pedal-to-the-metal Kirby, and that's all that matters. As a kid, I dreamed about being this guy, even though he didn't exist. The concept of a spaceman free of a cumbersome spacecraft is exhilirate'n to me, and probably why the moment I saw New Gods #1 on a shelf at the base newsstand will always be a pivotal time-point for me

I always feel bad about miss'n some Steranko publication, but since there were only 60 copies produced, I can't beat myself up too bad about this one. Last image is interesting, with zip-a-tones on the original poster

Shortly (relatively speak'n) after I started getting the adzine newspaper The Buyer's Guide, I started getting The Mirkwood Times. Both were fun for art fans like me, and now they're fun to look at what some of our present comic icons were being sold for by mail, like Conan #1 for a buck or the first appearance of Spiderman for ten bucks
